M.O.S.T.

"Gymkana has taught me self discipline and a healthy respect for my body.  If you respect yourself and your body, there's nothing you can't do."

- Jose Teneza (1995 Home Show Program)

Metro Orthopedics & Sports Therapy (M.O.S.T.) became Gymkana’s first (and so far only) major business sponsor. The business is owned and operated by Dr. Steven Smith, father of Michelle Smith, a trouper.

A new act for the year was Foot Bagging, a sport involving constantly kicking a small leather ball, trying to keep it in the air. It was performed by Philip Klavon.

Home Show was a success that year.  At the alumni party afterwards much of the talk seemed to be about the coming year and  Gymkana's 50th Anniversary.  One year to go and counting.
